The journey began via CL500. My complexion matched the beige interior. I set my car on cruise control and headed east on the 15. 4 hours later, we arrived in Las Vegas, checked into our hotel and immediately ordered a cocktail from room service. That evening included the Fabulous Las Vegas Festival featuring Armin van Burren, HEARTSREVOLUTION, Crystal Castles and many more. Pink Taco is what we ate for dinner and I must say, the menu does differ from the Los Angeles location.
Many attendees on MDMA, furry post teens dressed in halloween costumes and drinks which consensus agree were way over priced. Although we had our media passes which gained access everywhere, there wasn't a backstage area and the rain enabled us to partake in the outdoor stage where MSTRKRAFT preformed.
I have always been fascinated by "rave" culture. The lights and pounding bass that nevertheless sinks into your heart. Millions of emotions that run through your body at one time and then suddenly that instant transition into another song. The beads that are fastened on many wrists and exchanged mutually from new friend to new friend. This is a culture that withstands its own "people", its own "following" and I must say, will never die.
Later that evening we sake bombed at the Imperial Palace, I will spare the details. Natalie is "we" in this post. She joined me on this excursion. We met years ago while working at The Firm.
Vegas was quite sparse. Down 20 percent YTD. What money to gamble with and what is there to buy? The hotels are starving for guests and the clubs and restaurants that were by reservation no longer require a call ahead. But all in all, Vegas was fabulous, pun intended. I was interviewed by Mojo Republik and met some great people.
